I put on a show for her and take a 5 minute shower- the house is baby proofed and all doors are shut. Then when she goes to bed I’ll relax in the bath if I need more time.

Wait until he goes to sleep at night or before he normally wakes in the morning.

Yeah that's what I have been doing lately when I take quick showers. Still need to try doing this when I wash my hair. That takes a while to do. It's to the middle of my back

I shower with the bathroom door open so that way I can hear him. He usually has some toys in the living room and watches his cartoons.

We have those child safety door locks. Only thing we are worried about keeping him from in his room alone is we don't want him climbing his dresser. We don't have it secured to the wall yet.

There are those child safety door handles that make it so toddler can not open the door you can put that on his bedroom door or another room you wanna keep him in, give him his tablet and go take a shower...

My toddler gets into everything too he can get all the child locks off except this door handle so that's nice...

If you don't want to do that, you can also put one of screw in mini locks on the top of his door, that you lock from the outside, put him in his room shut the door lock it of corse have the monitor with you in the shower, take a quick shower an your done...

It's better to do it this way then have him get into knifes electrocute himself etc while your showering, he's safe and happy on his room...

With my ds I either take him with me he loves showers or I just wait till my husbands home or ds is napping...

Good luck

No constant wake up time. Any where between 6:30 and 8:30. I could bring him in but I think he is afraid of shower. I don't think he's bored, just like to see what he can get into when no one's watching. He loves his tablet but that does not seem to help when we leave the room

Wow it sounds like maybe he's bored so he looking for trouble. I don't know him, but are there any activities that will keep him busy for 15 mins, or maybe a favorite movie or TV show you can put on? And does he do any of those dangerous things while you're with him, and if so what do you give him as a consequence?

My only other suggestion would be to put him in the shower with you and let him play. I often take showers with my 3 year old daughter and she loves it. Otherwise I just take them before she wakes up. Does he have a consistent wake up time or does it vary?

Yes, he opens the fridge, (even though it's tapped shut) he knows how to get the covers off the wall sockets, he stands on his toys to reach high places and when in bathroom will flush toilet. We have to hide all garbage cans in the house or he will go through them. We do have child locks on doors, drawers and cabinets. But he always seems to get into something when u walk away for a minute. It's like he just knows. I am not a night time shower person. After sleeping in my own sweat for 7 hours I need a shower, I just feel gross and also can't go to bed with wet hair

Shower in the morning before he wakes up or at night after he goes to bed. Or just let him play freely while you're in the shower but leave the bathroom door open. He's old enough and shouldn't be confined to a pack n play. Is there something dangerous he can get into?

Thanks guys. My son does not nap here anymore. The thing with the toilet is he will constantly flush it. The bathroom we use is not in the bedroom.

Shower before he wakes up or at nap time. That’s what I did. Now my son is almost 3.5 and I’ll just have him stay in my room watch a movie or play on the ipad (he doesn’t use the ipad often so that help get him excited).

I usually put my daughter in the shower with me. I gave her little toys and cups to play with on the floor of the shower and she would sit there and play while I showered. If she didn't shower with me I would give her my phone and let her sit on the bathroom floor and play a game or watch a movie on it. If your afraid he will get into things drawer and cabinet locks are a life saver along with a toilet lock.

I lock my bedroom door and keep my bathroom door open while i shower. And make sure there obviously isn’t something i don’t want him to get into. He usually just gets into a drawer of tampons and pads ?

I'm sure he would be ok. Just leave the door open .

That's what I want to do but my husband says bad idea.

He is a little old for a pack n play.

I have 2yr old twins and 3yr old. I take bath or shower every morning and no one to watch them . I set them up with a game, books, tablet, cartoon or something and leave the bathroom door open.

Strap him in the stroller if he'll stay

Shower with him?

He knows how to climb baby gates unfortunately. I'm so lost on what to do. He can also open doors that don't have hold locks on them. So if I close his bedroom door he will open it and get out

Do you have a baby monitor? Maybe leave him in his room with the monitor on for 10 to 15 mins while you take a quick shower. When I need to shower I put a baby gate in the bathroom doorway and leave that door open and close my bedroom door so I can hear and see him

I usually give him his tablet, that used to work. Now that he knows he can get out of pack n play when I leave the room that what he does. Oh he does not go in his high chair anymore. He would never stay in it anyway, he pretty much knows how to undo all kinds of straps and buckles

Can he be locked in the stroller or high chair for a quick shower . I don’t work so I have the privilege of showering when my toddler naps in the afternoon . But on days I need to shower in the morning I get up before her so I can be ready before her day starts or I keep her occupied on the bed with something to do . Today i gave her a bunch of paired socked to open and play with . I had to repair and fold them but at least she was busy while i showered in time to go out for lunch .
